Chapter 48: Zhou Qingran
"Who is this?" The Queen Mother pointed to the woman behind Mrs. Shunzhang and asked with some curiosity.
The temple was momentarily attracted and looked at it.
It was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, wearing a lake green embroidered with daffodils, combing the fairy knot moon bun, a jade hairpin carved in the shape of a lotus flower in the middle of the bun, and a string of red agate stones fell from the tail of the hairpin, which just fell to the center of the eyebrows, setting off the white and greasy skin.
This girl's eyebrows are lightly swept and no fat powder is applied, but it is alive and well, reminiscent of the phrase "natural carving, clear water out of hibiscus".
Seeing this scene, several women secretly frowned, and Zhou Yi'er was also stunned, not understanding what her mother meant by bringing such a girl into the palace. If you beg the Queen Mother to marry, Changtai's twenty-fourth year draft will only be worth a year, and this girl's age is not in a hurry to get married; If you bring an audience to the Queen Mother...... Zhou Yi'er doesn't remember that there is such a person in her family.
Could it be......
Empress Zhou was also stunned, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, but she quickly disappeared, and quietly listened to the Queen Mother and continued to ask: "Mrs. Shunzhangjun, who is this child?" ”
"Empress Dowager, this is Zhou Qingran, the daughter of the hussar general Zhou Zinan, because Mrs. Chenghui County is ill, she is afraid that she will be sick after entering the palace to the Queen Mother, so she entrusts Miss Zhou to her concubine to bring her." Mrs. Shunzhang owed a debt and said respectfully.
Yingzhong Marquis Zhou Zhinan, hussar general Zhou Zinan, these two names are one word apart, but they are neither the same clan nor the same clan, Zhou Zhinan is a real family background, and he is also the brother of the son of Queen Zhou. The hussar general Zhou Zinan was born as a civilian, from the former Chaolong and 32 years of the martial champion, after the early years of Changtai Beirong invaded the border, and the west against Qiudi, the south of Siam, the war is impressive.
Because the two have the same surname and similar names, when the Queen Mother was the regent and gave the house, she deliberately gave the two families together. It's no wonder that Zhou Zinan's wife would entrust her daughter to Mrs. Shunzhangjun, but ...... Laba is the day when the woman enters the palace to meet her, although some people will bring their daughters, but they do not have to bring them, Mrs. Chenghui County is sick herself, her daughter does not stay at home to serve the decoction, and she is dressed in red and willow green to run into the palace for what?
For a while, looking at Zhou Qingran's gaze, it became weird.
The Queen Mother's face was as usual, and she nodded: "Mrs. Chenghui County has a heart, this child is called Qingran?" Come here and let the mourners take a look. ”
Zhou Qingran stepped forward according to his words, although Zhou Zinan was only a civilian, and there was no family behind him, but he taught his children very carefully, it is said that his daughters were raised by the old grandmother who was released from the palace, this Zhou Qingran walked from behind Mrs. Shunzhang County to the queen mother This distance can be described as in front of everyone, but she is still not slow and dignified.
Su Ruhui pursed her lips, the grandmother who was released in the palace was trained and raised? No wonder she knows the Queen Mother's preferences so well.
In front of the Queen Mother, Zhou Qingran bowed down, and her mouth was as delicate as a yellow warbler. cried: "Courtier Zhou Qingran, respectfully invite the Queen Mother Wanfu Jin'an!" ”
"Zhou Zinan's martial arts are outstanding, and his daughter is also very well-behaved." The Queen Mother smiled and instructed Qi Yundao, "Go and get the jade Feiyan hairpin, as well as the pair of purple jade ruyi in the box, and a purse." ”
Zhou Qingran hurriedly knelt down and excused himself.
The Queen Mother said kindly: "The mourning family sees you for the first time, you should always give a meeting gift, don't panic, just accept it." ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Zhou Qingran heard what the Queen Mother said, so he kowtowed obediently and thanked him, and he was generous. It's just that this generosity falls in the eyes of many people, but they feel extremely depressed.
Su Ruhui caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye, where was the handkerchief in Zhou Yi'er's hand being twisted, it was simply pulling the threads one by one, she knew what Zhou Yi'er was angry about, among the five people who were called into the palace to accompany her before, Song Caisu and Zhang Yi didn't know. Only Su Ruhui got a jasper ring from Queen Zhou, and Huo Qinglian asked the Queen Mother to help Changtai ask for a string of tribute nine treasure glass beads from Changtai as soon as she appeared, but Zhou Yi'er had nothing.
Just now they saluted the queen mother and the concubines and queens above the nine concubines, and the meeting ceremony was just a small thing. Now as soon as Zhou Qingran entered the palace, the Queen Mother gave such a heavy reward, how could Zhou Yi'er grit her teeth without hate.
Qi Yun smiled and went in, and after a while, he personally held the jade Feiyan twisted gold silk and emerald hairpin, followed by the little palace maid with a sandalwood plate, and a pair of crystal and moist purple jade were placed in the plate with brocade, carved into a ruyi shape, and even set off the Lingzhi auspicious grass, the indescribable fairy spirit fluttering, and a purse embroidered with a lifelike peony pattern was placed next to Ruyi.
Qi Yun presented the jade Feiyan twisted gold silk hairpin to the queen mother, and the queen mother personally took it for Zhou Qingran and plugged it in, and said with a smile: "You are a good child, but today is a festival, but the hairpin ring is a little less, and the mourning family rewards you with this hairpin is also to add makeup for you." ”
"Miss, don't you thank the Queen Mother soon? This hairpin was left by the Empress Dowager Jingsu to the Empress Dowager. Qi Yun smiled beside him and said, "It was the most proud work of Ye Zhen, the first division of the Shangfu Bureau!" ”
Zhou Qingran hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and the Queen Mother asked Ruyi to present it to him: "Ruyi can calm your nerves, this pair of Ziyu is for your mother, and when you go back, put it next to the pillow, and let her recover sooner." ”
"The courtier's daughter thanked the Queen Mother for her kindness!" Zhou Qingranfu bowed down and kowtowed again, and the Queen Mother pointed to the purse and said with a smile: "As for this purse, it was made by Mama Qi when she had nothing to do, let it be played with for you." ”
As soon as he heard that the purse was actually from Qi Yun's hand, Huo Qinglian couldn't help but change his face!
After Zhou Qingran, the queen mother seemed to be tired, and hastily talked to Mrs. Shunzhang County, Mrs. Zhengye County, and Mrs. Pingliang County, rewarded things as usual, and divided Laba porridge, so they asked them to retire and replace the next group of people in.
Su Ruhui saw her mother retreat, she was very sad, and she couldn't wait to catch up immediately, but she could only stand beside the Queen Mother obediently. The rest of the daughters are all the same, except for Huo Qinglian and Danzhu, the lord of Danzhu is because the queen of Dongjiao did not come with the king of Dongjiao, but Huo Qinglian doesn't know if it is because the lord of Kangyue died early and is not close to his grandmother.
When it was easy to get to the last batch of women, not only Su Ruhui, the girls who were eager to meet their mothers, were anxious, but even the queen mother drank a cup of ginseng tea quietly handed by Qi Yun before she cheered up and continued.
This group of women is also the lowest-ranking group in the fate, and their bearing, dress, conversation, and demeanor are far inferior to the first batch. Therefore, the Queen Mother was not interested, but she just picked up and asked, and was about to send away, and after listening to the Queen Mother telling them to retreat, Mrs. Baoluo suddenly stood up from the chair and called her sister in a choked voice.
It was a woman dressed in the costume of Taixian Jun, with a decent outfit, and her face was far older than her real age, but the beautiful silhouette of her youth could still be seen, which was quite similar to Mrs. Baoluo. She had been politely saluting and replying, but at this moment she was hugged by her sister who had not seen her for thirteen years, and she was touched by her feelings, and she forgot where she was, so she couldn't help but gently pat Mrs. Baoluo's back, and also turned her head to wipe the corners of her eyes.
The women who were about to retire were stunned by this matter, and they were not retreating for a while, Queen Zhou frowned slightly, looked at the Lin sisters who were hugging each other, and then looked at the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother said lightly: "The Lin sisters have not seen each other for many years, I think they are very happy, this is nothing, you just retreat." ”
After listening to the words of the Queen Mother, these women once again saluted and bowed out of the hall.
At this time, Mrs. Baoluo also came back to her senses, and hurriedly let go of Zhenshen Taixian Jun, and the two knelt down together to ask the Queen Mother for guilt, but the Queen Mother did not see anger, but said: "Since your sister has not seen you for many years, the mourning family will allow you to take Zhenshen Taixian Jun to Zhaohua Palace for a meeting, and go out before the palace gate is locked." ”
Mrs. Baoluo was overjoyed, thanked the Queen Mother with great gratitude, and retired with Zhenshen Taixian Jun.
At this time, there were no outsiders in the hall, and the Queen Mother no longer hid her tired face, and said to Empress Zhou with emotion: "Fortunately, there are not many inner women in Laba Ba, otherwise this old bone of the mourning family really can't survive, and I don't know if the Chinese New Year's Eve and the New Year woman will be able to survive?" ”
"The queen mother has worked hard today." Queen Zhou showed a distressed look, personally stepped forward to take over Gan Pei, and blamed herself, "The daughter-in-law is actually confused, and she actually let Gan Pei sit on her mother's lap all the time!" ”
"It's okay, it's easier for the mourning family to hold their grandchildren." The Queen Mother disagreed, "It's because the mourning family is old." ”
"What did the Queen Mother say, the concubine looked at the Queen Mother and was a few years older than us, where did she say that she was old?" Concubine Gu Xian peeled a citrus orange, threw the orange peel into the charcoal basin on the side, and burned out a touch of fragrance, but handed the orange flesh to the queen mother's lips, and said with a smile, "The concubine estimates that this is because the visit of the wife is too boring and stereotyped, not to mention the queen mother, even the concubine feels depressed when she sits here!" ”
The Queen Mother smiled when she heard this: "Concubine Xian will talk to coax the mourning family." ”
Concubine Gu Xian hurriedly pushed Shen Shufei and said, "Sister Shufei, you are here to comment on the reasoning, the Queen Mother doesn't believe me!" ”
"This time, it's the sister of Concubine Xian who is reasonable." Concubine Shen Shufei looked at the Queen Mother with a smile and said, "Mrs. Shou'an County didn't need anyone to help her just now, and the concubine said something overstepping - just in terms of age, is the Queen Mother still a little girl in front of Mrs. Shou'an County?" ”
Mrs. Shou'an County's decree is still sealed by Longhe, Mrs. Tai is now almost eighty years old, her body is still strong, and she does not need to take leave and support every time she enters the Hajj, and she is a well-known birthday star among the women. Many ladies joked that the first emperor was really prescient, and gave this lady the title of Shou'an County, which is very appropriate.
Shen Shufei said a little girl, which made the Queen Mother unable to hold back and said out loud: "If the mourning family can still be called a little girl, then the emperor doesn't know where it is!" Saying that, he pointed to Shen Shufei and said, "Originally, the mourning family said that you were an honest man, and Gan Tang didn't know where to learn so many sweet words, but now it seems that it was passed on by Concubine Shu, and it made the mourning family look away for many years!" ”
"Where is the Queen Mother? The concubine never speaks sweetly, the concubine only tells the truth! Concubine Shen said and looked at Queen Zhou, "Sister said yes?" ”
Queen Zhou looked at the Queen Mother seriously for a moment, nodded vigorously, although Gan Pei in her arms did not know why, but when she saw her mother nodding, she also followed suit, and the little face like a pink ball was really painful in her heart, and Detai Hall laughed for a while.
After laughing for a long time, although Su Ruhui and the others laughed together, they were so anxious that they couldn't wait to put on their wings and fly out, and finally the Queen Mother remembered this and said to them: "Your mother must still be waiting at the palace gate, and she has never left the palace, so she will go to see her and talk." ”
Several girls waited for a long time, and finally waited for this sentence, and they couldn't suppress their joy, knelt down and thanked them, and were about to go out.
The Queen Mother stopped Su Ruhui alone and advised: "You were not in good health some time ago, so you moved to the Chunsheng Palace to recuperate, and now the mourning family sees that you are almost better, so you should move back to Lumingtai!" If you feel too busy, the mourning family allows your mother to help you take a hand, and you don't have to come over to serve dinner in a while, let the imperial dining room add a few dishes for you, and then send her out with your mother's dinner. ”
Surprises came one after another, Su Ruhui almost didn't react like Wen Xiaoyi just now, but Concubine Gu Xian glanced at her with a smile before she knelt on the ground and thanked her, only to feel that Empress Dowager Jiayi had never been so cute.

Whew, the third watch is over, there is a 1W word, right?
The son of the pro-nai, this third more dedicated, ^_^
In other words, when you saw the last sentence of the previous chapter, you have to guess that the person is Mrs. Zheng Yejun, that is, Su Ruhui's mother? Haha, in fact, I was going to write it like that, but I thought it was too pleasantly surprised, so after thinking about it for a few minutes, I decided to pull out the MM of Zhou Zinan's house in advance.
